I dunno, GG is good-sized, just it's not all all encompasing. You have to spread it out alot.

I'm praying for no drunken idiots though, last time i was there one of my buddies had his car hit from one. Dude was blizted so bad, he couldn't stand let alone climb into the back of the police cruiser.

went to the marymoor one last year, that was deffinately huge.

As for HT meets being large, that's kind of an understatment. Look at the amount of hondas on the road out there and look at the number of "riced" out ones on the road. Bet you more than half of the riced ones are on HT.

that's true, if we count the ones that are truly tuning the honda and make it nice, there were probably only 1/4 of all the rides that shows up to HT meet...

So get this, I go out and try and start up my fit a couple days ago, chug, chug, chug, clickclickclick, batt dead. I jump it, it starts fine. No more issues rest of the day. Last turned the car off at around 1230-1am.

Next day, I go out about 1140am, try and start the car, same thing. Chug, chug, chug, clickclickclick. Jump it, fires up fine. I'm like, the hell with this, take it over to ST Honda to have them test out the system.

Turns out the battery is now shot. I don't know why really, I havn't changed anything except the stereo and that was installed via cartoys and didn't have any issues after that install. Stereo is a 50w x4 like the stock, so I don't see it pulling more when it's off vs. the stocker.

Anywho, factory warrenty on the battery is 3yr, unlimited miles, so they are replacing the battery for free. Extended warrenty does NOT cover the battery if it goes out.

Weird shit.

Oh, I just hit the 53k mark the other day.

Hey Matt didn't you have a front end crash? Might have caused some internal battery damage. Also my Dad had a radio in his car that developed a "parasitic battery draw". It would drain the battery even though the car was off. Chevy wanted over $700 to install a new stock POS radio. It cost $170 for the diagnosis and I had to tell them to just pull the fuse. He didn't care if he had a radio.

I thought about that and will prolly check tomorrow. I know they did a test on the battery and it came back needing to be replaced. *shrugs*
